Esther and Ebenezer moved to Worthington, Hampshire, Massachusetts, perhaps about 1769 with their son Amos. Esther is mentioned in Ebenezer's will of April 1781. Ebenezer's probate was started 5 February 1782. No further record has been found for Esther. She probably spent her last years living with the family of one of her children who also moved to the Worthington area.
